How To Make Matters Worse

Rumination consists of Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTS) that bring up and go over the assaults against them again and again. With each reenactment the depth and pain of the original assault is deepened and the bruises get deeper and deeper. The brain is a marvelously creative and powerful computer with graphics unmatched in digital machines. Thus, each Rumination expands the pain and damage from its original depth and the second condition is much, much worse than the first.

The final letter T stands for TRAUMA. We Traumatize ourselves and make matters much, much worse. One we begin to renew the mind and take every thought captive our mind can clear up and we see reality more clearly.


                                                                              

                                                                                                               If an assault was a Shock it can be deepened to a Trauma or even an Abuse. The memory of the Victim then expands and multiplies the original pain and damage. Some Christians want to simply pray a one time, Spiritual empowered prayer and see the wound healed.

That is our goal as well. However, if the highways of the brain have been deepened and widened by constant Ruminations it will certainly require a long time of recovery with focused Power Christian Thinking to repair the "Holes in the soul". 

We have ministered to many men and women who were victims of assaults and neglect as children. As a result they developed certain habits of thinking and behaving designed to cover up their pain. By faith in Christ the inner healing process begins but it will not be resolved unless the person intentionally renews his/her mind and heart as well as the habits.

Our books all deal with getting better. If that is of interest to you order them. If not you are free to ignore everything we say. For Pastors and Christian leaders. These materials can be extremely good for working in groups. They cry out to be implemented.
